If you aren't sure what RCA's are they relocate the control arm with a simple two bolt install that can be done in your driveway.

Benefits include:

1: Proper camber so you don't wear out the inside of your tires prematurely, for those of us who blow through tires like it's nothing RCA's will pay for themselves in one tire purchase.

2: Retain complete suspension travel, the RCA's give you about a 1" drop by installing them. That means that you can drop your car an inch and not lose any of your suspension travel like you do with lowering springs.

3: If you have coilovers you can gain an inch of travel by installing the RCA's and then adjusting the coilovers up 1". The car will still look just as low but will now ride smoother with less wear on your shocks and less chance of bottoming out.


How many people would absolutely for sure but front RCA's if they were (see poll):

I would. They sound like a great mod for the price.

I only own the front, but I bought it from another member (custom made). Question on the poll, Are you refering to a complete set? or just front or rear?

I may have answered my own question on this. I'm assuming for a complete set.

I was referring to the fronts right now as the rear doesn't seem to be as much of an issue for people, I'm running my Teins all the way down and have almost no camber wear on my back tires (275/30/20).

If that's the case, I'd revise my vote to the 150 dollars range. I got mine for 50 bux so I got lucky. You can already get the front for the price range most people are voting for so far.

id be interested in this, I had an nsx before and no one made a camber kit for it. It chewed through the rear inner tires every 5-6 months. It was NASTY. Definetly would be interested in this mod.

I own a set of Sage front and rear kit love them and knowing I get more shock travel, I can't ditch a main important piece that can accrue the life of tire, camber corrections, and shock travel life otherwise I would've never modded my GS and left it stock.

Well if you are talking fronts, they're regularly available for $179, so maybe you should revise the poll pricing to $180 and less?

i would love a complete set for the front and the rear. any mod that increases tire life, increases handling performance, increases suspension travel and ride comfort, AND allows you to go lower is a no brainer for me.

for all the money i've spent already on suspension and wheel/tire combos, a couple hundred is nothing in ratio to the benefit gained.

I realized that after I posted it but figured it was just a theoretical poll so it wasn't too big of a deal...

I got SAGE as well...they work great.

Btw...the poll question and choices are flawed....its not really a poll since we kinda know in what direction the results will be in general....lol.
